If the cop asked him to help stop the suspect then I don't see why he would get fired cause he was helping out the LEO by stopping or slowing down the car! I seen a couple other times where a trucker has helped the LEO's end a pursuit! Why do you think they have cb's in their cars? :wink:

not to keep repeating myself, but the truck blocked the car
the car hit the truck traffic was moving slow, and the truck could have simply been merging ![]() picture if you're making a right hand turn, and halfway thru the turn, a driver tries to come up underneath and just guns it. If the car hits the truck, who's fault is it? now, if the truck had hit the car in some sort of PIT maneuver, then the driver would totally be at fault. and, again, the car had plenty of time and room to stop.

Carriers hire/don't hire/fire drivers based on criteria established by the insurance industry. Therefore, what appears in a driver's DAC report can indirectly be influenced by an insurance company.
